Although the party season is over there's no harm in a small gathering and we need to feed our guests don't we! So I'm passing on these super easy canapés for you and your guests to try!
You will need:
Ciabatta loaf
Bread knife
A small pot of olive oil
A pastry brush (you can always use a bit of kitchen roll if you don't have one)
A small jar of red pesto
A block of goats cheese
A jar of caramelised onion
Butter knife and spoon to spread the toppings
Get started by preheating your oven to 180-200C and then cut the ciabatta loaf into 1 and a half cm wide slices. While the oven is preheating, spread or dap a small amount of oil onto one side of the ciabatta and place them in the oven for a few minutes until slightly crispy. A small hint, it works well to do in two batches, while one is cooking, you can apply toppings to the cooked batch. First cover the cooked slices in red pesto, the amount depends on how much you like pesto, I tend to stick with a thin coat as pesto can be fairy strong. Next top with goats cheese and a bit of caramelised onion before putting them back into the oven for several minutes. While you're topping the second batch, keep an eye on the first in the oven and feel free to take out before or after several minutes.
Finally serve on a small dish to your guests. If you don't fancy goats cheese and caramelised onion you can always trade it in for Brie and cranberry on a green pesto base. Or feel free to attempt new combinations!
